The Waffle House might seem like an odd name for a kitchen renovation. Can a waffle really inspire a complete renovation? The answer is yes. This was a fun project because the clients are known for throwing waffle parties - yes, it’s a thing. And so when they purchased this house, they knew they needed a larger kitchen, but didn’t know where the extra space would come from, thinking a huge addition would be required to meet their needs. After looking at the space and considering their needs, it became clear that they didn’t need a large addition. In fact, it only took an addition of 96 sf, and a more efficient floor plan, to give them all the space they needed. This led to the redesign of their angled hallway, pantry and faux columns, which were incredibly inefficient. As a result, the entertaining spaces became more open, while the private spaces became better defined. Some renovations are inspired by trends, some are inspired by functionality, but here we were inspired by the humble waffle. After a year of waiting, all of this work is able to be commemorated with a much needed, long awaited, waffle party.
